午餐不该做的十件事

[面试时不该说的话]急问待遇 “你们的待遇怎么样？”“工作还没干就先提条件，何况我还没说要你呢！”谈论报酬待遇，无可厚非，只是要看准时机，一般在双方已有初步意向时再委婉地提出。不合逻辑考官问：...+阅读

Mom and Dad taught us some basic etiquette rules to follow at the table: keep your mouth closed while chewing, dont talk with your mouth full and keep your elbows off the table. Although that last one may no longer be very important, the others still are, especially when it es to what not to do at a business lunch. In addition, there are other rules to follow. They may seem to be simply a matter of mon sense but given what the author has seen of late, that modity seems to be in short supply.

从小我们就被教导：进食的时候应该把嘴巴合起来，当嘴里都是食物的时候不能说话，手肘不要放在桌子上。尽管最后一条听起来没那么重要，但其他的还是很重要的，特别是与别人共进工作午餐的时候，除此之外，还有一些规则要遵守。也许看起来如同常识一般简单，但就笔者最近的观察，这些注意事项都被大多数人忽视了。

1. Dont Floss Your Teeth

1. 别剔牙。

While theres no arguing the importance of dental hygiene, tending to it should never be done in public.

没错，保持牙齿清洁卫生是很重要的，但是这决不能在公共场合做。

2. Dont Brush or b Your Hair

2. 不要梳头发。

Nobody wants hair in their food and when you run a b or brush through yours.

没有人希望在你梳理头发的时候发现有一两根在自己的食物里面。

3. Dont Blow Your Nose

3. 不要擤鼻涕。

While were on the topic, if you sneeze at the table, go to the restroom to wash your hands.

当大家正在谈话的时候，如果你打喷嚏，那么就请移步洗手间并洗手吧。

4. Dont Talk on the Phone

4. 别打电话。

If you get a call, go elsewhere to take it, but only if its a good time to do so. If you and your dining panions are in the middle of discussing something important, wait for the best opportunity to lee the table.

如果你的电话响了，请到别的地方去接听，但当然要在适合的时机才能去。如果你正与合作伙伴谈论重要的事情的时候，请等到合适的时候才去接听电话。

5. Dont Continuously Text

5. 别无休止地发信息。

Staring at your screen while sharing a meal is impolite. If you get a text that can be quickly answered, go ahead and do itone time. Otherwise, wait for a chance to excuse yourself and then reply.

与别人共进午餐的时候眼睛盯着手机屏幕是很不礼貌的。如果你有一条能够快速回复的信息，那么就回复吧，但只能是一次。除此之外，你就只能等待合适时间再回复了。

6. Dont Burp

6. 别打嗝。

In some circles, burping indicates that you he enjoyed your meal. While the cook may appreciate the good news, your fellow diners probably wont.

在某些圈子里，打嗝会给别人传递你很享受这一顿午餐的信号。虽然主厨很欣赏这种表现，但是你的同事则未必了。

7. Dont Apply or Fix Makeup

7. 别化妆。

The rules of etiquette dictate that makeup not be applied at the table especially in the case of business meals.

礼仪规则规定，不能再餐桌上化妆，尤其是商务午餐的时候。

8. Dont Be Rude to the Waiter or Waitress

8. 别对服务员不礼貌。

Many people consider it a big red flag when they observe someone being rude to waitstaff or other service workers. They see it as a sign of how that person will ultimately treat them. Whether this is true or not is irrelevant if it lees them with a bad impression of you.

许多人会觉得，当他们看到有人对服务员或其他服务性劳动者不礼貌是一件危险的事情。他们能够预测这个人会怎样对待自己。无论这是真的还是毫无关系的，不要对服务员不礼貌，不然就会给对方留下一个不好的印象。

9. Dont Eat Anything Other Than Finger Food With Your Fingers

9. 除了小点心，不要用手拿其他的食物。

10. Dont Make a Negative ment About Someone Elses Food

10.不要对别人的食物指指点点

If you dont like the looks of someone elses meal, ert your eyes from their plate and enjoy your own food.

如果你不喜欢别人的食物，那么把自己的视线转移过去，好好享受自己的午餐吧。
